Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed Ma 5,1919. Serial 110,294,742.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Error: JoHiIsoN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, inthe county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Whippers for Eggs,Cream, or the like, of which'the following is a specification.

This invention relates to mixers or beaters for eggs, cream or the likeand has for its objects the provision of a device which Wlll adaptitself to any size or shape container, with means for adjusting theoperating shaft to accommodate various depths of containers, at timeallowing the shaft with its attached whippers to be placed at any anglewithin thefcontainer by the whippers attached thereto with a rapidrotary motion, and means for controlling the placing of the whippers atany point within .he confines of the container.

Further and more limited objects are in the provision of a. devicewhicsimple and eliicient in operation, cheap of manufacture and easily'removed an disassembled for purposes of storage. v

The foregoing may be accomplished in the embodiment of the inventionshown in the drawings forming part of the specification and in whichlike reference numerals d nate like parts throughout the various views.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a device of the character before described,and shown attached to the container; Fig. 2 is a plan view; Fig. 3 is aside elevation as viewed from the left of Fig. 1 and Fig. 4: is a detailon the line H of Fig; 1.

The device as shown comprises a metal cover 1 substantially circular inform and provided with diametrically opposed extensions 2 for a purposeto be described. For the purpose of strengthening said cover a wirededge 3 5, pressed upwardly from the cover are provided'for a likepurpose, the former-being substantially concentric wi h the wired edge 3and the latter parallel to and equi-distant from the center linethereof. The cover may be secured to a vessel or container of any shapeor size, in this case shown as an ordinary china mixing bowl 6 provided'at its upper edge with an annular'bead 7 Means for securing the cover 1to the vessel comprise clips having engaging lugs 8 and having securedthereto bolts" 9 which pass 'to the cover at 15 and ing detent 16comprising a boss punched engages a similar 3 1, for the purpose 7 hwill be said bearing is provided central section throughtheis providedand ribs 4 and.

through slots 10 formed inthe cover and extending substantially from thecenter of the cover to the outer ends of the aforement oned extensions2. This allows the cover to be secured to many different sized or shapedcontainers. The engaging lugs 8 are adapted to be placed beneath theannular bead 7 of the bowl and are locked in place by the wing nuts 12threaded upon the bolts 9. necessary to loosen the wing nuts upon thebolts and slide the clips outwardly until the lugs 8 clear the undersideof the bead 7, whereupon the entire device may be lifted upwardly andaway from the container.

opening-13 is provided within the cover for observation purposes and maybe closed by means of a rotary lid 14 pivotally secured rovided with alockfrom the lid 14, which shaped recess in thecover of keeping said lidclosed at all times.

The cover has formed at its center a semispherical socket 17 in which isplaced a correspondingly shaped casting 18 which supports the operatingstructure. A bearing 19 is" formed integral with the casting 18 andextends upwardly therefrom and with a bore 20. short distance from thebottom the bore is increased in diameter to supportv the hub 21 of aspur gear 22 and the hub of the spur gear is provided with an annulargroove 23 and a set screw 24: is threaded through one side of thebearing 19 and its reduced en occupies the aforementioned groove 23, and

this provides a construction whereby -the gltudinal movement thereof.The hub of the gear is provided with an internal bore through which isplaced a shaft 25 locked to the gear22 by means of a set screw 26hearing upon the flattened side of the shaft 25 and the end of the shaftwhich projects within the container has secured series of whippers 27 ofnarrow metal strips bent in substantially circular form and placed atright angles to each other. whippers are provided with a plurality ofapertures which allows numerous air pockets to be formed in the liquidand said whippers are secured against rotation to the shaft 25 by-havingapertures with one flattened side whichengages a flattened portion ofsaid To remove said cover it is merely Patented July 8, 1919. v

thereto a shaft, the bottom of the shaft being riveted over as at 28afte the whippers have been properly located thereon. The gear 22 mesheswith a larger gear 29 made of a circular disk in which are punchedopenings 30 concentric and acting as teeth to be engaged by the teeth ofthe gear 22. The gear 26 is fixed t0 the shaft 31 supported in a hearing32 formed integral with the beforemen tioned casting 18.v A crank 33provided with an operating handle 34 is secured to the other end of theshaft 31 and is provided for manual operation. For the purpose ofguiding the whipper to any point within the center and for the purposeof steadying the operating parts a handle 36 cast integral with theportion 18 is provided, and to be swung around in all directionswhippers are rotated. Y

l/Vhile I have shown this specific form of construction in theaccompanying drawings it is evident that various other forms may as thebe employed and I do not Wish to limit,

myself further than is required by the state of the art or that which iswithin the scope of the-appended claims.

I claim:

1. A'device of the kind described, comprising a cover adapted to befixed upon a bowl or the like, said cover having a socket,, a supporthaving universal movement in said socket, a rotary beater having a shaftmount-- ed in a bearing of said support, and means carried by suchsupport to drive the shaft.

2. A device of the kind described, comprising a cover adapted to befixed on a container, a supporting member having a ball and socketconnection with said cover, whereby it may be swung-to various angles,and a rotary beater ing member and provided with means to rotate thesame, said heater projecting into the container.

3. device of the kinddescribed comthe socket support permits the devicecarried by said support and means supported by said member to rotate theshaft.

4. A device of the kind described comprising a. cover adapted to befixed upon a container, said cover having a central semisphericalsocket, a ball member fitting in said socket, and having a bearing,beater having a shaft supported in said bearing and extending throughthe bottom of the socket into the container, a gear on the shaft, and acrank supported by the ball member, and provided with a driving gear inmesh with said gear.

5. A device of the kind described comprising a cover adapted to be fixedupon the container, a supporting member having a ball and socketconnection to the cover and provided with a handle whereby it may beswung to various angles, a rotary beater having a shaft mounted inhearings in said supporting member, and means to rotate the shaft.

6. A device of the kind described comprising a cover having asemi-spherical socket with an enlarged opening at the bottom thereof, awall member fitting in said socket, and adjustable to various anglestherein, and arotary beater having a shaft extending through saidopening into the'container and mounted in a bearing in said ball member,and means supported by said member to drive the shaft.

In testimony whereof I do aflix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
